Addition reaction of hydrogen Bromide to the unsymmetrical alkene follows _
Correct answer: B. Markovnikov's rule
- A. Peroxide effect
- B. Markovnikov's rule
- C. Anti markovnikov's rule
- D. Kharish effects
Explanation
Markovnikov's Rule dictates the addition of hydrogen bromide to an unsymmetrical alkene, where the hydrogen attaches to the carbon with more hydrogen atoms initially, forming a stable carbocation. The bromine then adds to the carbon with fewer hydrogen atoms, following a regioselective path. This enhances stability through carbocation formation. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the regioselective addition of hydrogen bromide to unsymmetrical alkenes.

About Chemistry of Hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons are studied through the structures and reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and aromatic compounds. Coverage includes free radical substitution in alkanes, electrophilic addition to carbon-carbon multiple bonds, benzene substitution, aromatic stability and the difference between addition reactions of alkenes and substitution reactions of benzene.
